yes I saw g00r00 posting about this a few days ago, I'll have a look also. What I found with Gmail is they the Google account linked to it would from time to time auto disable the 'allow insecure apps' switch to off after I had enabled it in order to allow Mystic to engage with Gmail. It's been a pain as the ability for users to run a email/password reset option works then it does not until I catch it is broken again because of that Google change in setting.

Yep agreed, now that I know Gmail/Google is going to be a bust I need to find some way to easily do what I was mostly easily doing using a free email service like Gmail.
